I don't recall the then Chelsea owner saying much at all.   

Remember when Russia invaded Ukraine and the future of Chelsea FC was very much in the air? Was it radio silence then?

I agree Chris has made a rod for his own back by making the statement he did which led people to believe something was close to being finalised. However by the lack of further updates it would appear the matter has not been resolved in the indicated timescale.  So for now there is nothing to report...But that does not mean that "its all gone T!ts up" just that for now there is nothing to report...one way or another.  Folk may have there own opinions what no news means, and looking through this thread there's plenty of opinions on that front as well as what CL plans could/should/will be. As often stated on this forum we are all entitled to our opinions....But eventually, there will be only one decision made and that will be the one made by Chris himself. - And frankly, whatever that decision is, anything else said in the meantime would just fuel the fires of speculation and indeed may be prejudicial to any ongoing plans or negotiations.    

I'm a big fan of what Chris has achieved for Ipswich Speedway and the crowd has grown over the years.  However, putting the fans through this uncertain time with no reassurance/updates is very poor.  Ritchie Hawkins was co-promoter as well.  There'd be no Ipswich speedway without paying spectators and they should be top priority.

Kid Brodie?

I believe very little either. There’s one or two you’d take notice of, but the majority you wouldn’t hang your hat on that for sure.    In fairness to @flagrag , he’s a good sort and well respected in his work so I’ve been a little harsh here. It’s entirely possible he’d heard an early snippet of what Chris Louis was putting together before the proverbial sh!t hit the fan.    Think it’s safe to say that whatever he’d heard early doors, is now highly unlikely to come to fruition.
